Offaly Civil Engineering has been awarded a $1.1 million contract by Wide Bay Water to replace 1,820m of 300mm diameter, 81-year-old, cast-iron water main in Albert Street, Maryborough. The main was constructed as part of the original Maryborough drinking water system in the 1930s. “The replacement of the main will improve the performance of the system as well as reduce water lost through leakage and bursts,” Wide Bay Water CEO said.

Offaly Civil Engineering look forward to continued growth in the region with another successful project outcome for our new client.

January 2016: Awarded Southside Sewerage Project Stage 6

Following on from our successful completion of the Snapper creek Sewer project in 2015, Offaly Civil Engineering Pty. Ltd. is pleased to announce the award of the Southside Stage 6 Sewerage project.

June 2014: Time Lapse Footage of Gladstone Water Main Project

Time Lapse footage of the installation of the 300mm MSCL Water Main in Gladstone, QLD.

Our Innovative Construction Methodology involved the use of a series of rollers & a flying fox system to allow the pipe to be both welded & launched from the Southern Bank of the Cooling Water Channel, this allowed the traffic to flow uninterrupted during the construction phase to the RG Tanna Coal Terminal.

See the Time Lapse Video below.

March 2014: Awarded Richmond Water Main Project

Our Crew in North Queensland have been busy installing over 4km of 150 PVC water main through the township of Richmond.

Due to the reactive nature of the soils with high clay content in the region the existing asbestos cement main is becoming too brittle to cope with the high level of ground movement. Subsequently Offaly Civil Engineering have been contracted to replace these mains to address this issue & cope with higher demand placed on the system once a new water treatment plant has been installed.

Since commencing works on site, Offaly Civil Engineering has been heavily involved with Richmond Council in the design process to determine the appropriate depths & locations of new services, we have also helped to ensure local businesses & residents are not without water for an extended period of time when cut-over works are taking place.

Richmond Shire Council have recently given the work order for a further section of the towns water supply network to be upgraded, this is a testament to our ground crews performance & strong relationship with a valued client.

February 2014: Awarded Gladstone Water Main Project

Offaly Civil Engineering is pleased to announce we have been awarded a further contract for the Gladstone Ports Corporation.
